If the five year wait between
Rehab’s first and second album made the southern rap/country music duo seem outdated, expectations were even lower after another five year wait. However, in 2010,
Rehab sounds less like
Kottonmouth Kings or
Eminem followers, and more like
Kid Rock did on
Rock N Roll Jesus. Approximately 80% of
Welcome Home is made up of acoustic, down-river rock constructed around drum loops and twangy vocal melodies. With the exception of the rap-based songs "#1" and "Rideout Chick," it's a full album of country-fried pop ballads in the style of their biggest single, “Sittin’ at a Bar.” And for a band that got their start their start emulating the Dirty South alongside
Goodie Mob, it’s a strangely pleasant listen. ~ Jason Lymangrover
